Spelling is a basic skill that everyone should have, but an over-reliance on technology has resulted in more and more individuals struggling to spell correctly.

For those of you who struggle to write anything that is error free without the aid of spell check or auto-correct all is not lost as there are a number of things that you can do to improve your spelling. They are as follows:

– Make a list of the words that you regularly misspell and simply practice until you get them right

– Read as much as you can

– Do crossword puzzles and other word-based games in a bid to improve your vocabulary
